Congenital majority teeth absence refers to the number of missing teeth up to 6 and above,which is rare in clinic.Most of these patients have syndromic symptoms of other organs,non syndrome type is more rare.This paper reports 2 cases of non-syndromic majority teeth congenital absence in mother and daughter,and makes related discussion.

Objective To investigate the accuracy of three dimensional facial measurement system based on structured light projection, and explore the methods to reduce noise of the output images. Methods The known object for calibration was measured by the measurement system to correct the parameters of the system and enhance the measurement accuracy. The mechanism of noise was analysed, and the noise and sundry of the images were eliminated. Results The parameters of each assembly of system were obtained by calculation and calibrated, and the measurement accuracy (0.028 mm) of three dimensional facial measurement system based on structured light projection was increased. Application of image processing technology reduced the noise and sundry of output images. Conclusion The accuracy of three dimensional facial measurement system based on structured light projection is high. The image output is reliable, and can be clinically used in facial scanning and three dimensional reconstruction.

Objective To evaluate K-wire leverage reduction and fixation via the triceps tendon for irreducible supracondylar humeral fractures of Gartland types Ⅱ& Ⅲ. Methods From June 2014 to March 2016, 31 children with irreducible supracondylar humeral fracture were treated operatively in our hospital. They were 23 boys and 8 girls, aged from 4 to 11 years ( average, 6. 3 years ) , involving 19 left and 12 right arms. Their clinical manifestations included elbow swelling at the affected arm, obvious tenderness, and limited movement of the elbow. The reduction was conducted under the guidance of C-arm roentgenography by inserting a piece of 3. 0 mm K-wire into the fracture ends via the posterior triceps tendon, inserting 2 pieces of 1. 5 or 2. 0 mm K-wire from the distal lateral humerus to the proximal through the opposite cortical bone, and inserting a piece of 1. 5 or 2. 0 mm K-wire into the opposite cortical bone through the ulnar aspect of the distal humerus. Results The operation time for the 31 patients ranged from 28 to 42 minutes ( 33 minutes on average ) . They were followed up for 6 to 18 months ( 12. 3 months on average ) . All fractures united after 4 to 6 weeks ( 4. 6 weeks on average ) . At the final follow-ups, the lengths of the affected and healthy arms were re-spectively 66. 4 ± 2. 7 cm and 66. 4 ± 2. 9 cm, showing no significant difference ( P> 0. 05 ) . The therapeutic outcomes by the Flynn criteria for the elbow function were rated at the final follow-up as excellent in 26 cases, as good in 4 and as fair in one, yielding an excellent to good rate of 96. 8％. Pin tract infection occurred in 2 patients, but no deep infection or osteomyelitis was observed during follow-ups. Conclusion K-wire leverage reduction and fixation via the triceps is an effective and simple treatment for irreducible supracondylar humeral fractures of Gartland types Ⅱ& Ⅲ.

AIM: To explore the pharmaceutical effects of tetrahydroxy stilbene glycoside (TSG) on acute liver injury induced by acetaminophen (APAP) using method of non-targeted metabonomics. METHODS: SPF C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the group of APAP-induced model and the group of TSG intervention groups (n=15). After intragastric administration of TSG for 7 days, the mice were injected once by APAP via intraperitoneal injection and the livers were taken 6 hours later. RESULTS: H&E staining, MDA and SOD tests showed that the injection of APAP could cause hepatic injury, but TSG could reduce the severity of liver injury. The results of metabolite detection showed that there were significant changes in ABC transporter, choline metabolism, central carbon metabolism, galactose and alanine amino acid metabolism in TSG groups compared with APAP model group. CONCLUSION: TSG protects against acute liver injury induced by APAP, mainly by improving lipid peroxidation and disorder of energy metabolism.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the effect of psychological intervention on anxiety and depression in hearing-impaired children and adolescents. MethodsThe literature was researched from the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang Database on psychological intervention on anxiety and depression for hearing-impaired children and adolescents until July, 2023. After screening, author, country, study object, study design, intervention mode, outcome, and measurement tools were extracted from the literature. ResultsEight articles from three countries were included, including eight randomized controlled trials, involving 404 participants, publishing mainly from 2013 to 2023. The types of psychological intervention included family support education, emotional intelligence training, cognitive behavioral therapy, self-confidence group training, and play therapy, and so on, which improved social phobia, and relieved the levels of anxiety and depression of children and adolescents with hearing impairment. ConclusionPsychological intervention can effectively alleviate the anxiety and depression of children and adolescents with hearing impairment.
